We need to shut down any devices the PDC has left in a state
where it might do DMA *Before* reprogramming the IOMMU.
Knowing which devices to shutdown this early and how to access
then is non-trivial.

Yeah - this is a "trivial" fix for a difficult problem.
An alternative solution would be to disconnect all USB devices.
I'm hoping firmware doesn't enable DMA for USB ports if it doesn't find
anything.
